DEllilah...that is a definite consideration...since I have never bought on margin...I did not realize it was tax deductible. But the measly $24 I will pay for 6 months (really less since I am paying some of the loan off each month) doesn't bother me...and I like the fact that I am in control of when I sell or cover and not the brokerage. But...thanks for the tip! Mary

unless you're a trader and on mark-to-market accounting, you'd better hope you don't get audited. margin interest as a deductible is limited to only a few filing categories and IMHO investor is not one of them.
